I was saddened to find out today of Patricia’s passing. We met when she moved to Montreal, and became good friends that shared some great times. I’ll remember her as a caring, affectionate, and articulate woman, and one with a great love for animals. I hadn’t realized she was ill, even though we communicated frequently after she returned to Vancouver. My condolences to all her family, she will be missed.

We saw the recent obit in the Vancouver paper. Patricia was with our book club for many years. She was full of life, stories and joie de vivre. I am sad to hear of her passing.

So saddened to hear of Pat’s passing, especially at such a young age with so much to offer. My prayers for strength and understanding for you, Paula, and the rest of your family. Love, Dianne McNicol (John’s ex-wife and Pat’s ex-sister-in-law).
